After the Aquila was introduced, the Army became interested in finding a smaller version more suited for quick, low runs on enemy ground targets. Originally, PFS engineers turned to an unlikely candidate - the Pulsar luxury Yacht. While this retrofit offered a heavy hitting craft, its bulk left it vulnerable and ill suited for combat. The retrofit project was then scrapped as a new craft, the Argos, was introduced.

Resembling a mixture between the Pulsar and Aquila, the Argos would be much smaller and more maneuverable than both, and armored well enough for low attack runs on enemy ground units. It is designed to rush the enemy and bombard them with its many turrets, and get out before they have time to fight back.

2. Reverse Thrusters On/Off
   
3. Select Gatlings

5. View Forward Camera
   
6. View Docking Camera
   
7. Empty
   
8. Open/Close Main Door
   
9. Extend/Retract Landing Gear

*DO NOT use the L key to turn spotlights On/Off. This will also turn on the landing lights, and cause the landing gear status display to be inaccurate.

On that note, make sure you only control systems through the timer blocks listed above. Doing anything else can mess up displays and put things out of sync.


Like most of my atmospheric craft, you'll find that most of the thrust is for the up and forward movements. Side and reverse thrust really only exist for stable hovering and straight flight. When maneuvering, bank the craft like an airplane for best performance.

While there is more than enough hydrogen to get you to space, I wouldn't really recommend it ;)

Due to the limited space, you'll need to use a jetpack to tilt yourself when entering the ship, but yes, you can actually get in there.
